They are 33 inch tires. Not 12.5" wide. these have about another year or so left on them. When I get new tires I am going with a 33 12.5 mt. I have not decided which brand yet. M/Ts are not cheep and I'm on a serous budget. I have decided not to go with a 35. Too many problems with running 35s on stock axles from what I keep hearing.

I agree!!! I love my cut flairs too! I have yet to see anyone with them around town. It has got quite a bit of attention with jeepers around here. Heat gunned them yesterday to restore them and looks great and the spray on bedliner for the rear wheel wells looks great. Did that this afternoon.

After a day of wheeling listening to my tires constantly rub on the underside of the fenders I decided to pull the trigger and trim the fenders this past weekend.

I used an Oscillating MultiTool to make the cuts and to my surprise it was like butter! A very clean cut with great control.



I like the clean look but only a wheeling trip will let me know it there is still rubbing.



I went with the angled cut in the front but still had a little bit of flutter so I drilled a hole thru the fender and into the bracing under the fender and then just used a standard plastic christmas tree insert to attach. (not shown on this pic)

It's slotted and can be found at most automotive stores such as Autozone or Pep Boys.
